Where to put .pst for best performance

[daveroblit]

I have two SATA drives on my XP Home PC. Would it be better for Outlook
general performance to put the .pst file on the second disk, or to leave it
on the boot disk along with the system and the Outlook application? Or no
difference, trying to measure the speed of light with a stopwatch?

Thanks,

Dave

No difference but for backup purposes, I keep mine on a second hard drive -
that way if something happens to my boot drive, my data is safe.
